Spain is a country known for good food (tapas), and even better wine (sangria). Many traditional Spanish foods are meat and seafood, i.e. not ideal for a vegetarian. However, there are tons of great vegetarian options, especially around the great city of Barcelona. Here are a few of my favorites:

For lunch at many restaurants in Barcelona you will find a menú del día, or a menu of the day. At La Cerería, you can get a starter, main course, dessert and drink for 12,50€ (about $13.30). The menu rotates throughout the year, so it is always worth it to come back and try new offerings.

TocaTeca has traditional tapas, including all of the best vegetarian ones (pan con tomate and patatas bravas). My favorite is the goat cheese salad: arugula, cherry tomatoes, caramelized goat cheese and balsamic. Pan con tomate or tomato bread is a tapas staple, and very good here.
